Analysis was made in the correlation between vaginal fungi at the 10th month of pregnancy and various changes resulting from pregnancy. At the same time, the onset of vaginal mycosis was studied from the aspects of fungus type and the number of colonies formed on Mizuno-Takada medium, which resulted as in the followings. The identification of species of fungi was conducted by serological, biological and morphological methods.Out of 272 cases of pregnant women to be subjects, 78 cases (28.7%) were vaginal fungus-positive, and mycosis was found in 14 cases (17.9%) out of vaginal fungus-positive cases.The kinds of vaginal fungi were Candida albicans 74.4%, Torulopsis glabrata 21.8% and Candida krusei 3.8%.The vaginal fungus-positive rate was 25.2% in primipara and 31.7% in multipara, which tended to be higher in multipara. But no singificant difference was observed.The vaginal fungus-positive rate was 33.6% in gestosis-complicated group and 24.7% in non-complicated group, which tended to be higher in gestosis-complicated group.Little or no difference between urine sugar & anemia of pregnancy and vaginal fungus-positive rate was found.The incidence rate of mycosis with Candida albicans was 5.6% in case of not more than 50 colonies and 25% in case of not less than 51 colonies.
